[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Braves at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 5, Braves 3

Moneyline

The GIANTS (-115) have been swept at home only once all season, in a 3-game series to the New York Yankees May 31- June 2. Webb has been stellar over his last 3 outings and Fried has been very hittable over the last month.

Webb has allowed only 2 total runs in his last 3 starts.

The Giants are 35-27 at home this season. They should take the finale.

BET GIANTS (-115).

Run line/Against the spread

Betting the Giants to cover the +1.5 at -210 is a bad bet in terms of value.

But since 10 of the Giants’ last 13 wins have been by at least 2 runs, you should ladder your moneyline bet with a little bit on the alternate spread at -1.5.

BET GIANTS ALTERNATE SPREAD -1.5 (+185).

Over/Under

Webb’s last 3 outings and 4 of his last 5 have not surpassed 7 total runs.

But opponents have scored 7 or more by themselves in 3 of Fried’s last 4 starts.

Six of the Giants’ last 9 games have had at least 7 total runs.

BET OVER 7 (-120).

Atlanta Braves at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Atlanta Braves at San Francisco Giants odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Atlanta Braves (63-56) and San Francisco Giants (61-61) play the 3rd game of a 4-game set at Oracle Park Wednesday. First pitch is scheduled for 9:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Braves vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Braves lead 3-2

The Braves have beaten the Giants by 1 run in back-to-back 10-inning games. After taking the Monday opener 1-0 as -108 favorites, the Braves won 4-3 as -101 underdogs in the 2nd game of the series Tuesday — the Under cashed in both meetings. C Travis d’Arnaud hit a solo shot in the 3rd inning Tuesday and drove in the go-ahead run in the 10th with an infield single.

Giants SS Tyler Fitzgerald tried to lay down a bunt to lead off the bottom of the 10th, but was called for batter’s interference. San Francisco was unable to advance its automatic runner, as 1B Lamonte Wade Jr. and CF Heliot Ramos each flied out for the final 2 outs of the game. The Giants have lost 3 straight, all at home.

Braves at Giants projected starters

RHP Grant Holmes vs. LHP Robbie Ray

Holmes (0-0, 3.79 ERA) makes his 4th start and 14th appearance. The 28-year-old rookie has a 1.11 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9 and 9.7 K/9 in 38 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 5 ER, 6 H, 3 BB, 8 K in 6-5 setback at Colorado Rockies Friday
  • 2024 road stats: 0-0, 4.15 ERA (17 1/3 IP, 8 ER), 1.21 WHIP, 9.9 K/9 in 6 appearances (2 starts)
  • Career vs. Giants: 0-0, 1 home relief appearance (July 4), 2 2/3 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 1 BB, 4 K in 4-2 setback

Ray (2-1, 3.98 ERA) makes his 5th start. He has a 1.18 WHIP, 4.0 BB/9 and 12.4 K/9 in 20 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 6 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 3 BB, 7 K in 3-2 home victory vs. Detroit Tigers Friday
  • 2024 home stats: 0-1, 5.23 ERA (10 1/3 IP, 6 ER), 1.74 WHIP, 9.6 K/9 in 2 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Braves at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, Braves 3

Moneyline

The GIANTS (-125) haven’t lost 4 straight games at Oracle Park since a 4-game home skid May 29-June 2 (1 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies and 3 vs. the New York Yankees). It’s unlikely that the Braves with Holmes on the mound will hand San Francisco a 4th straight loss, as they’re 0-3 in his 3 starts.

Ray, on the other hand, has been profitable for bettors since returning from last year’s Tommy John surgery. San Francisco is 3-1 in his starts this season, with the 2021 AL Cy Young winner allowing 2 runs or fewer in each victory.

BET GIANTS (-125).

Run line/Against the spread

After back-to-back 1-run games, Atlanta +1.5 (-210) seems like the safer choice, but there’s too much vig in this line to recommend a play.

PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

Ray has allowed 2 ER in back-to-back starts, and the Giants are the 4th-best Under bet in MLB this season, hitting Unders at a 27-16-1 (62.8%) clip. Ray will probably give up fewer than 3 runs, and San Francisco’s offense has underperformed lately, scoring 4 or fewer in 4 straight games.

BET UNDER 7.5 (+100).

The Atlanta Braves (62-56) and San Francisco Giants (61-60) play the 2nd game of a 4-game series Tuesday. First pitch from Oracle Park is scheduled for 9:45 p.m. ET (MLB Network).

Season series: Tied 2-2

The Braves took the Monday opener 1-0. It was only their 2nd victory in their last 9 games.

The Giants have lost 2 games in a row after a 4-game win streak Wednesday through Saturday. They are 12-5 in their last 17 games.

Braves at Giants projected starters

RHP Charlie Morton vs. LHP Kyle Harrison

Morton (6-7, 4.47 ERA) makes his 22nd start. He has a 1.31 WHIP, 3.4 BB/9 and 8.8 K/9 through 114 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 2 2/3 IP, 8 ER, 9 H, 1 BB, 3 K in 16-7 home defeat to Milwaukee Brewers Thursday
  • 2024 vs. Giants: 0-1, 1 home start (July 4), 5 1/3 IP, 3 ER (4 R), 5 H, 2 BB, 5 K in 4-2 setback

Harrison (6-5, 4.08 ERA) makes his 21st start. He has a 1.29 WHIP, 2.9 BB/9 and 8.2 K/9 through 106 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 4 2/3 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 0 BB, 3 K in 9-5 road win over Washington Nationals Thursday

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Braves at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, Braves 3

Moneyline

The GIANTS (-110) are 35-25 at home this season, while the Braves are 30-30 on the road. Harrison is 3-1 with a 3.47 ERA at home.

The Giants have not lost more than 2 consecutive games since losing 5 straight June 18-23.

BET GIANTS (-110).

Run line/Against the spread

The Giants are 8-8 ATS as home underdogs.

The Braves are 22-24 ATS as road favorites.

But betting the Giants to cover the +1.5 at -190 odds isn’t a good value.

PASS.

Over/Under

Prior to Monday’s game, the Braves had 6 consecutive games with totals higher than 8 runs.

Nine of the Giants’ last 17 games have not reached 9 total runs, including 3 of their last 4.

But all 4 previous matchups this season between the Giants and Braves have had totals of 8 runs or fewer.

BET UNDER 8 (-105).

Atlanta Braves at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Atlanta Braves at San Francisco Giants odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Atlanta Braves (61-56) take on the San Francisco Giants (61-59) Monday in the opener of a 4-game set at Oracle Park at 9:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Braves vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Giants lead 2-1

The Braves dropped 2 of 3 in Colorado over the weekend and are reeling at 1-7 in their last 8 games — and 7-14 in their last 21. Their pitching has been brutal. Toss out the last series in Coors Field, but they still allowed 34 runs in a 3-game series at home to Milwaukee. 3B Austin Riley is hitting .353 (18 for 51) with 4 homers and 13 RBIs in his last 12 games.

The Giants are playing better baseball, winners of 4 of 5 — and 12 of 16 — but fell to the Detroit Tigers 5-4 Sunday as -176 home favorites. 3B Matt Chapman has stepped his game up, hitting .362 with 5 homers and 15 RBIs over his last 15 games.

Braves at Giants projected starters

LHP Chris Sale vs. LHP Blake Snell

Sale (13-3, NL-best 2.75 ERA) makes his 22nd start. He has a 1.00 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9 and 11.6 K/9 in 127 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 4 2/3 IP, 2 ER (3 R), 9 H, 2 BB, 10 K in 8-5 home loss vs. Milwaukee Brewers Wednesday
  • 2024 vs. Giants: 1 start, win, 6 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 2 BB, 9 K in 3-1 home victory
  • Career vs. Giants: 2-0, 1.80 ERA (20 IP, 4 ER), 1.00 WHIP, 12.6 K/9 in 3 starts (1 start last season, 2 starts in 2014 with White Sox)

Snell (2-3, 4.31 ERA) makes his 13th start. He has a 1.10 WHIP, 3.6 BB/9 and 11.5 K/9 in 62 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 8 K in 7-4 victory at Washington Nationals Wednesday
  • Last 3 starts: 2-0, 1.29 ERA (21 IP, 3 ER), 0.57 WHIP, 34 K in 21 innings, including his no-hitter at Cincinnati Reds Aug. 9
  • Career vs. Braves: 0-2, 4.20 ERA (15 IP, 7 ER), 1.47 WHIP, 12 K in 3 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Braves at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, Braves 3

Moneyline

Snell had 1 bad inning in his first start after no-hitting the Reds Aug. 9. He gave up 3 runs in the 3rd inning of his last start and rebounded with 5 K’s in his final 3 innings of work. He’s at another level right now, and I trust him more than Sale, who has allowed 2 earned runs in each of his last 3 starts for a 3.06 ERA.

BET GIANTS (-105) at home.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS on a run line wager, but …

I like BLAKE SNELL OVER 7.5 K’S (-130). The Braves are the 6th-easiest to whiff in baseball at 9.15 K’s per game. Snell’s K lines in his last 3 starts: 8, 11, 15.

Over/Under

It’s slated to be 60 degrees with a fierce 11-mph gust blowing straight out to center. According to Pregame.com, 3 5-figure bets came in on the Over between 12-1 p.m. One of those was for $62,574! With the weather favoring the Over, and the sharps coming in hot, TAKE OVER 6.5 (-105).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Detroit Tigers (55-63) visit the San Francisco Giants (61-58) Sunday afternoon. First pitch from Oracle Park is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Tigers vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Giants lead 2-0

The Tigers have lost 3 games in a row after falling 3-1 against the Giants Saturday while failing to cash as +208 road underdogs. C Dillon Dingler had the only RBI, while LHP Brant Hurter allowed 3 ER in 5 innings to pick up the loss.

The Giants have won 4 games in a row after Saturday’s victory as -231 home favorites. 2B Brett Wisely led the way on offense with 2 RBIs, and RHP Logan Webb allowed 1 ER in 7 innings to pick up the win.

Tigers at Giants projected starters

RHP Keider Montero vs. RHP Hayden Birdsong

Montero (2-5, 5.62 ERA) makes his 9th start. He has a 1.31 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 7.6 K/9 through 49 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 8 K in 4-2 victory at Seattle Mariners Tuesday
  • Never faced Giants before

There is minimal value on the Giants (-185) to win Sunday.

Run line/Against the spread

BET GIANTS -1.5 (+120).

San Francisco is 8-2 in its last 10 games with 6 of its last 7 wins coming by 2 or more runs. Detroit is just 3-7 in its last 10 games with 4 of its last 7 losses coming by 2 or more runs. While Sunday will be a battle between 2 rookie starters, the San Francisco bats will be the difference makers.

Over/Under

BET OVER 7.5 (-115).

Detroit has allowed 3 or more runs in 8 of its last 10 games while scoring 3 or more in 4 of its last 7. San Francisco has scored 3 or more runs in each of its last 9 games and 4 or more in 6 of its last 8.

Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Reds odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Giants lead 3-1.

The Giants opened the series and their 7-game road trip with a 3-0 win as starter Blake Snell threw a no-hitter, striking out 11 in the win. They have won 2 in a row and 6 of their last 7 games.

The Reds have lost 2 games in a row and 4 of their last 6, but they are 5-4 in their last 9 games and 5-8 in their last 13.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Giants at Reds picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 3, Reds 2

Moneyline

The way both starters have been pitching, this has all the makings of a low-scoring pitching duel. Greene has allowed only 2 runs in his last 5 starts.

Harrison has allowed 2 in his last 3 and in 4 of his last 5 starts, he has allow no more than 1 run.

The Giants have won consecutive games via shutout and have shut out their opponents 3 times in their last 5.

The Giants have won 6 of their last 7. Despite their 22-33 road record, I like them to keep up the winning play.

BET GIANTS (+115). 

Run line/Against the spread

Betting the Giants to cover the +1.5 at -190 odds isn’t worth your while in terms of value. That is why the plus odds on the moneyline are the way to go. And with both starting pitchers rolling the way they have over the last month, expect the game to be close. You could consider an alternate spread for the Giants, but you’re better off going with the straight-up win.

PASS. 

Over/Under

The Giants have not had a game surpass 9 total runs in their last 6 games.

Greene’s last 5 outings and 6 of the Reds’ last 7 games. have not gone Over 9 total runs.

BET UNDER 9 (-115).

The Reds snapped a 2-game winning streak with a 13-4 loss against the Chicago Cubs Wednesday as -150 home favorites. RF Jake Fraley hit a 3-run homer in the 5th inning, and LHP Nick Lodolo allowed 8 ER in 5 2/3 innings to pick up the loss.

Giants at Reds picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 3, Reds 2

Moneyline

BET GIANTS (-110).

The Giants are 6-2 in their last 8 games, including 5-1 in their last 6. They face a Reds team that is 2-3 in its last 5 games and has been inconsistent offensively. Cincinnati has scored 1 run or fewer in 2 of its last 5 games and 4 runs or fewer 3 times over that span. While Friday night should be a strong battle between 2 lefties, San Francisco holds the advantage.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

There is better value on the moneyline for San Francisco.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 9 (+100).

Harrison has allowed 1 ER or fewer in each of his last 3 starts. The Giants have hit the Under in 6 of their last 10 games overall, including 4 of their last 5. They’ve also scored 2 or fewer runs in back-to-back games.

The Reds have hit the Under in 7 of their last 10 games, including 5 of their last 6. They’ve scored 4 runs or fewer in 4 of their last 6 games.

Oakland A’s at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Oakland A’s at San Francisco Giants odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Oakland A’s (45-64) and San Francisco Giants (53-56) wrap up a 2-game set at Oracle Park Wednesday. First pitch is scheduled for 9:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the A’s vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: A’s lead 1-0

The A’s won 5-2 as +167 underdogs in the Tuesday opener as the Under (8) hit, and we cashed on the run line and the total. LHP JP Sears pitched 7 shutout innings, yielding just 3 hits and a walk with 9 K’s while the A’s offense hit 4 HRs.

Giants C Patrick Bailey singled in a run in the 9th inning, a rare highlight for a San Francisco team that had just 5 hits on the night. The loss ended a 4-game Giants win streak.

A’s at Giants projected starters

RHP Ross Stripling vs. RHP Logan Webb

Stripling (2-9, 6.02 ERA) makes his 13th start. He has a 1.58 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9 and 5.6 K/9 through 61 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 5 2/3 IP, 5 ER, 6 H, 2 BB, 3 K in 6-5 victory at Los Angeles Angels Thursday
  • 2024 road stats: 1-4, 6.12 ERA (32 1/3 IP, 22 ER), 1.52 WHIP, 5.0 K/9 in 6 starts
  • Career vs. Giants: 2-3, 3.20 ERA (45 IP, 16 ER), 1.00 WHIP, 6.8 K/9 in 15 appearances (5 starts) — last faced San Francisco in 2020

Webb (7-8, 3.72 ERA) makes his 23rd start. He has a 1.32 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 7.6 K/9 through 135 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 4 ER, 9 H, 3 BB, 4 K in 6-4 loss at Los Angeles Dodgers Thursday
  • 2024 home stats: 4-3, 3.00 ERA (60 IP, 20 ER), 1.13 WHIP, 6.6 K/9 in 9 starts
  • Career vs. A’s: 1-2, 5.68 ERA (25 1/3 IP, 16 ER), 1.46 WHIP, 7.1 K/9 in 5 starts — last start in 2022

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

A’s at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 5, A’s 4

Moneyline

The Giants (-210) will likely bounce back after Tuesday’s loss, but they’re a little overvalued at this number.

PASS. Bet the run line and/or total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

Both starters have allowed 4 or more earned runs in their last 3 starts, but the A’s offense may be more reliable going forward. Oakland has scored 5 or more runs in 4 of its last 5 games, while the Giants put up just 2 runs in the Tuesday opener after trading 1 of their best hitters in DH Jorge Soler to the Atlanta Braves Monday.

The A’s are 10-4 straight up and on the run line over their last 14 games, and at the very least, they should be able to keep this one close.

BET A’S +1.5 (-120).

Over/Under

Webb has allowed 15 earned runs over his last 16 innings, while Stripling has given up 15 over his last 14 1/3. To make matters worse for Webb, Oakland is averaging 5 runs over its last 5 games, which should help the Over hit at such a low number. However, I’m bearish on San Francisco’s offense moving forward without Soler.

LEAN OVER 7.5 (-115).

The Oakland A’s (44-64) and San Francisco Giants (53-55) open a 2-game set at Oracle Park Tuesday. First pitch is scheduled for 9:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the A’s vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

A’s at Giants projected starters

LHP JP Sears vs. LHP Robbie Ray

Sears (7-8, 4.81 ERA) makes his 22nd start. He has a 1.29 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 6.6 K/9 in 112 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 6 IP, 7 ER (8 R), 9 H, 0 BB, 3 K in 8-1 home defeat vs. Houston Astros Wednesday
  • 2024 road stats: 2-4, 4.52 ERA (61 2/3 IP, 31 ER), 1.30 WHIP, 7.0 K/9 in 11 starts
  • Never faced Giants before

  • Started just 1 game in 2023 before undergoing Tommy John surgery

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

A’s at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 4, A’s 3

Moneyline

The Giants (-200) are coming off an impressive 4-game sweep — even if it was against the Rockies. They will probably extend their win streak to 5 games if Ray can pick up where he left off. However, they’re a little overvalued at this number.

PASS. Bet the run line and/or total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

Oakland is 9-4 straight up and on the run line over its last 13 games. With the Giants trading away one of their best power hitters in Soler, and Oakland being offered at such a reasonable price on the road, it’s hard not to like the A’s in this spot.

BET A’S +1.5 (-125).

Over/Under

The Giants are 22-15-1 (59.5%) to the Under as home favorites this season, and Ray is coming off an impressive 5 innings of no-hit ball against the Dodgers, the 4th-best offense in MLB. The Under is also 30-23-2 (56.6%) this year when the A’s are away underdogs.

BET UNDER 8 (-105).

Colorado Rockies at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Colorado Rockies at San Francisco Giants odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Colorado Rockies (38-68) and San Francisco Giants (52-55) close out a 4-game series Sunday. First pitch from Oracle Park is at 4:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Rockies vs. Giants odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Giants lead 9-3

The Rockies have lost all 3 games of the series so far and 4 of their last 5. They were shut out 5-0 Saturday and held to only 4 hits.

The Giants hope to tie their longest winning streak of the season to close out the series. They have had two 4-game winning streaks this year. They have won 4 of their last 5 after losing 4 of 5 post-All-Star break.

Rockies at Giants projected starters

LHP Austin Gomber vs. RHP Jordan Hicks

Gomber (2-6, 4.70 ERA) makes his 20th start. He has a 1.30 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 6.2 K/9 through 105 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 2/3 IP, 4 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 5 K in 9-8 home win over Boston Red Sox Monday
  • Career vs. Giants: 2-4, 7.27 ERA (34 2/3 IP, 28 ER), 1.50 WHIP, 6.0 K/9 in 8 apperances (6 starts)

Rockies at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Rockies 7, Giants 3

Moneyline

The ROCKIES (+155) are winless this season at Oracle Park and 14-39 on the road, the worst mark in the National League.

But the Giants have lost Hicks’ last 5 starts and haven’t scored more than 3 runs in his last 4 outings. Hicks has allowed 3 or more runs in 5 straight starts and has not pitched more than 5 innings.

The Rockies have won 3 of Gomber’s last 4 starts.

The Giants have not swept a 4-game series this season and have only won 4 straight games twice; their last 4-game win streak was May 22-25.

BET ROCKIES (+155).

Run line/Against the spread

There is no need to bet the Rockies on the run line. Ten of their last 12 losses have been by multiple runs. If they don’t pull the outright upset, they won’t likely cover.

PASS.

Over/Under

Six of the Giants’ last 9 games have not gone over 8 runs.

Five of the Rockies’ last 8 have not surpassed 8.

But 6 of Gomber’s last 8 starts have had 9 or more total runs.

BET OVER 8 (-105).
